II. Current Actions 

This Notice proposes the clearance of 

the 2028–2032 IMLS Grants to States 

Program Five-Year State Plan 

Guidelines for State Library 

Administrative Agencies. 

The Grants to States program is the 

largest grant program administered by 

IMLS, providing financial assistance to 

develop library services throughout the 

States, U.S. Territories, and the Freely 

Associated States. To receive funds 

under the Grants to States program, each 

established State Library Administrative 

Agency (SLAA) must submit to the 

Director of IMLS a Five-Year State Plan 

detailing certain goals, assurances, and 

procedures for a five-year period. 20 

U.S.C. 9134(a). The upcoming five-year 

period will cover Federal fiscal years 

2028–2032, with Five-Year State Plans 

due to IMLS on June 30, 2027. The FiveYear State Plan identifies a State’s 

library needs, sets forth the activities to 

be taken toward meeting the identified 

needs supported with the assistance of 

Federal funds made available under the 

Library Services and Technology Act 

(LSTA), and provides assurances that 

the officially designated SLAA has the 

fiscal and legal authority and capability 

to administer all aspects of any award 

under the Grants to States program. 20 

U.S.C. 9122(5). The Five-Year State Plan 

must also provide assurances for 

establishing the State’s policies, 

priorities, criteria, and procedures 

necessary to the implementation of all 

programs under the LSTA. 20 U.S.C. 

9122(5).
